Last Line: As japonicas in the snow?
Subject(s): Calm; Placid; Undisturbed; Tranquility


It's April and the snow is sifting down,
Yet, there are no winds to blow;
Behold, as bright as fire and red as blood
Are japonicas in the snow!

I stand before the window, mute, enrapt,
As a lover would and gaze
On the bushes green, now draped in white
Where those blossoms brilliant blaze.

I wonder, when I reach that time in life --
The time when my steps are slow --
Shall my heart and thoughts make such contrast
As japonicas in the snow?
